Like last November, when we spoke about these allegations. As I told you last year, these acts have been very known by almost all if not all the players and obviously many people within and outside of the program for a couple years. Just wasn't made "public" yet.

Without any factual evidence, if someone had run with this stuff, do you think it could have backfired? I know one writer who wanted to run something around the time I told you about Sandusky, but his editor basically made him swear that he would never run anything because of the possible consequences.

Btw, this all ****ing sucks and I was hoping it wouldn't be this bad. It's as bad as possible.

I think we'd be exactly where we are today. The facts of the case haven't changed, they likely just would have come to light sooner, not through that initial report, but from the countless number of investigative journalists that would have swarmed to the scene.

I was literally standing in front of the computer at the hospital today holding my my second son, scrolling through all the reports and thinking about what a sub-human piece of filth would do something like this. What kind of sick **** could take advantage of handicapped kids and not commit suicide?

Yea, man. I agree. And mazel tov on your son if he was just born! That's fantastic, man.

And holy **** - handicapped kids as well? I've been working all day and haven't read the grand jury I posted yet, nor much of anything else other the basics. That's just...Ugh. What the ****, man?

I saw one article talking about how nothing this bad has ever happened in sports (well, out of sports with a sports figure). Worse than anything you could imagine. I concur.

Thanks. Hell of a ****ing world all our kids will live in.

I know it's about the 182nd worst thing to come out of this, but there's a ton of really stupid misinformation floating around the internet about Paterno's culpability. Even the DA coming out and saying the he acted appropriately isn't stopping that. I think his sterling reputation saves him from being permanently stained by it, but jeebus, what a way to go out if he does go out.

As bad as Sandusky's actions were, if Curley and Schultz (and Spanier) handle things as they should have been handled, it's 1 rogue ex-coach who was outed and punished. Now, it makes it look like.....****, I don't even know what. But hey, at least Spanier has battled tirelessly to fight the devil of underage drinking. Go manufacture another riot, ****face.
